If you're a member of the UIC community, your ADN account already provides
you with full access to Internet services, but if you live in the suburbs, you
might want to consider using a commercial Internet access service to connect
to the UIC ADN network. In many cases, they can provide faster and more complete
connections than the Computer Center's suburban remote CMS-only lines dialup
lines, and for reasonable cost: a service charge, the price of a local phone
call, and (perhaps) an hourly access charge.
Randy Smith (wsmith@etc.com) maintains a list of Chicago area Internet
service providers, giving their services, locations, and charges, and he explains
how you can select the best provider for you. He posts the article Chicago Area
Internet Providers List on a regular basis to the chi.general Usenet/Netnews
newsgroup. (A recent copy of the article is available on INFORM; use the search
keywords chicago.)
